Hi Carries25,
I am not an insurance expert. However, my homeowner's policy has a line for "other structures". When I asked the insurance company what it meant, they said it was for anything I had that was not particularly attached to my dwelling. So any gazebo, fences, gates, family swing, kiddie gyms, etc. are covered. I would assume a pool is covered.
The hurricanes that I experienced did not seem to effect things low close to the ground. Many of my neighbors have pools. None of them got damaged. However, landscape debris fell into the pools and made them filthy so they needed major clean-up and removal of landscape pieces that fell in it.
